@ricorico94 welcome to the MySensors commu ity! All you need to do when switching from raspberry pi gateway to ethernet gateway is change the "hardware" configuration in Domoticz.
However, if you are just starting out, don't use this gateway. It works for MySensors 1.x only. Use the new raspberry pi gateway instead.
As promised, what I found so far: the following dockerfile yeilds a usable cross-compile environment, provided you use it with a Makefile.
FROM ubuntu:xenial
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install --yes \
vim \
build-essential \
git
RUN git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools
RUN git clone https://gist.github.com/3873805.git /build
WORKDIR "/build"
CMD ["/usr/bin/make", "CC=/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc"
, "HelloWorld"]
# Seems I need a real makefile for the above to work.
For cross compiling mysensors to work, hoever, you also need to properly seed the variable in configure, for it to work correctly. This is where I left off.

when you change the BAUD rate setting in the source/config file to something lower/other you can also use 3.3V Arduinos as (Serial)Gateway. Of cause your controller needs also to be told about the lower BAUD rate.
Check out http://wormfood.net/avrbaudcalc.php?postbitrate=9600&postclock=8 for an overview of Clockspeeds (usually 8MHz for 3.3V and 16MHz for 5V types) and coresponding BAUD rates.

yes in general subghz radios have better range than 2.4ghz.
I might have farther nodes but for example, I have one rfm69cw at 55m from the GW and it's ok, with many obstacles on the path (7x rock walls, a part of the roof is metallic, metallic doors etc).
This depends on many factors of course
